    They didn’t have to give anything really. A lot of clubs are mismanaged and it’s good they’re putting provisions and conditions on the rest.

    This money is a massive lifeline for most clubs and will definitely go along way to stopping teams going into admin. I like the idea of the extra fund too which comes with stipulations of what you can spend it on.

    That’s what it’s all about. Making sure every club survives this pandemic. We look closer to getting fans back so this should tide most over. It’s not about what we want or what we need. Let’s use the money as a bonus and continue to work hard to make more and become successful. A lot to ask out of our club I know

    The PL should just create a behind closed doors league and play to their hearts content and then just F OFF
    What kind of a season will it be for the fans with just 17 home games other than an expensive and over in no time one..... ?

    Fortunately for the "Big Six" the reduction of Premiership games gives the teams that qualify for Europe a far better chance to keep that gap between the top 6/7 and those below, most accept the Premier is actually three leagues in one, those challenging for a European place the 5/6 clubs under them playing to league position money and the rest playing for their Premier League lives.

    The EFL wanted 250m from the PL from way back in July mate. The 250m hasn't arrived and isn't going to arrive just on a plate. To get the 250m changes were always going to have to be made.

    Last week it was the B teams starting in div 2 now it's this.

    I said League 1 & 2 acting like mickey mouse clubs in back in April wasn't going to help in the long run and it won't. Expect changes in our league soon.

    I am surprised that the ‘Big Six’ haven’t approached La Liga, Bundesliga, Sire A and tried to form an exclusive continental Super League!

    The plan seems tailored to ensure that they retain their status and that no one else can join the ‘Big Six’. So Leicester’s and Everton’s have no chance.

    This has nothing to do with EFL wanting money but seems Parry is using it as an excuse to push the agenda. This is a total power grab by the big clubs

    Did I read correctly that West Ham and Villa have played in more prem games than Man City and are going to granted "special status"? What actually is the big six though, what are the criteria to become one?

    Just heard about it on the BBC news. Could be a lifesaver for some of the lower league clubs but I can see why most of the Premier League clubs don't want to relinquish their hold on the flow of cash that at present passes into their hands, and also why they don't want to see an elite group within the Premier League wielding more power - and kudos, than them.

    Do you think that Liverpool & Man Utd have thought about this for the last 3-6 months? Really? Seriously mate.

    Liverpool & Man Utd plus others would have been talking about his for years.

    The Government can go f*ck themselves anyway.

    Something clearly needs to be done as the present model is broken. The elite already run the game and the EFL has no say whatsoever, the replies of the owners of lower league clubs on twitter already suggests they are more than happy with the proposal.

    The 'big six' always gets an airing but who are the big six these days? Apart from the obvious you can add Leicester, Wolves and possibly now Everton. I think it spells the end for the league cup and long term possibly the FA cup for the top premiership clubs as the champions league and Europa league become more and more lucrative, the two less teams also gives clubs chance to make more money on the lucrative world tours that the big clubs yearn for.

    What's happens to the two teams relegated from the Premier League?

    Does the 72 become 74 and potentially more games added to the calendar within the football pyramid or will we see 4 relegated from league 2 or even worse, two relegated from league 2 and no promotion from the non league?

    Read the proposal again.

    And what would you want under 23's in League 1 and 2?

    The PL clubs are not going to give the EFL 250m for nothing. Please get that in your head.

    I think what a lot of people forget is it was always the intention for the PL to be reduced to 18 teams. The problem was whenever it came to ratifying it those who felt they may be bottom half would vote against it. It took enough to drop down to 20 and that was a big part of what caused parachute payments.

    The amount of football played in the top division in England really doesn't help us. When there are big European games most of the other leagues where there is less football and hence more flexibility in the schedules will give the teams a week off, especially in Germany which is never an option in England. And for our international team players often go into a world cup or euros with the squad having on average played more games than the other teams.

    TBH the one thing I don't like about the proposal is the infrastructure part. IMHO it should include training/medical facilities, That's the big issue I have with the EFL right now is you send a young player to most clubs they may get some first-team minutes but they won't really develop technically and their fitness side will often drop (and god forbid they get any kind of injury)

    I really like the change to the playoffs. So often the team that comes through the championship playoff just isn't ready for the PL. The change will set a benchmark for them to achieve if they come through a playoff which involves the 3rd from bottom in the PL it suggests they have the basis to be competitive, rather than being on of those clubs just looking for a season in the PL and then the parachute payment

    The changes to loans as well to allow recalls if the manager changes is also a major step. All too often players are loaned to get experience, the manager who signed them then gets sacked and they get frozen out but the club has to leave them rotting in the reserves with the substandard training facilities.

    Having the PL sell the EFL rights may also be a plus, its something that happens in the SVOD market a lot. You have this appealing show that people want but rather than just selling that they go 'how about you give us x instead and we will throw in this bundle of other shows'. This extra amount is more than they would get selling these other shows separately and it's down to the power the bigger show brings. There is a really good chance then that the rights will sell for more and each club will get a better cut.

    Mind you I really don't know why they are keeping the EFL branding. Just call them the Premier League. Premier League 2, premier league 3 and premier league 4. Would be a much easier sell as the EFL branding makes things confusing (I mean seriously having the 4 tier league being league 2 is just daft)
